Newcastle splashes out on Brentford's Wissa

Newcastle signed DR Congo forward Yoane Wissa from Brentford in a 50 million-pound ($67 million) deal after Alexander Isak left St James' Park in a British record move to Liverpool on Monday.

Wissa agreed a long-term contract with the Magpies, subject to Premier League approval, and will wear Newcastle's famous No 9 shirt.

The 28-year-old's eventual fee could rise to 55 million pounds depending on add-on clauses.
